'Gul Makai' motion poster, featuring Reem Shaikh as Malala Yousafzai, released.
The first motion poster of Gul Makai, a biopic inspired by the life of Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai, is finally out. Gul Makai is the pseudonym of Pakistani activist Malala. The pen name was used by her while writing blogs for BBC Urdu during the Talibani rule.
The film portrays the journey of the courageous activist who defied Taliban, and fought against it. The poster features TV actor Reem Shaikh as the Nobel peace prize winner with a book in her hand which upon opening, explodes. The motion poster conveys a great deal about the awe-inspiring life of Malala.
In the poster, one can also hear Kabir Bedi’s voice booming in the background, introducing Malala’s character with the words, "This is about those times when the Taliban was destroying Pakistan and Afghanistan in the name of Jihad and religion. When from a very small village in Pakistan, a voice arose.”
The official synopsis of the film, as quoted by The Indian Express, reads, “Gul Makai accounts the courageous journey and struggle of Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, from her humble upbringing in the Swat Valley to her becoming the champion for free education to all. Gul Makai is a small tribute to this lion-hearted girl who is in every essence a global citizen championing a cause that transcends boundaries, caste, religion and geography.”
Shot in Kashmir, Gul Makai is directed by filmmaker Amjad Khan and traces the then socio-political atmosphere of Pakistan. The film features Reem Shaikh, Divya Dutta, Mukesh Rishi, Abhimanyu Singh and Ajaz Khan.
On October 9, 2012, Malala Yousafzai was shot in her head and neck by Talibani militants for going to school. Not only did she fight her fate and survive, she also continued her fight for women rights and education.
